Why is the mean path delay so high (hundreds of microseconds)?

The Precision Time service is provided over Equinix Fabric, which is a "non-PTP aware" network. You might see a mean path delay in the order of microseconds or milliseconds (in certain metros). However, both PTP and NTP account for the mean-path delay and control the synchronization precisely.
